2007/08 Cardboard Box Derby
Don't miss this springtime favorite!
There
are two catagories, where first, second and third place prizes will
be awarded:
• Two-person racer:
Two people sit in or on the racer
• Four-person racer:
Four people sit in or on the racer
The
racer must be built entirely out of cardboard boxes with no wood,
metal or plastic. If boxes have metal staples, they must be covered
with duct tape on both sides. Glue, duct tape and stitching are all acceptable methods of securing
pieces together.
The racer must have a theme and will be judged for style, so it
is important that you paint and decorate it! For more points, theme
music is suggested. We will have a DJ on hand to play your theme
music.
Each racer will be inspected for safety before it does it run. All
rulings of the inspectors are final.
Helmets
are recommended for all persons in or on the racer.
Each
participant must fill out and sign an entry form. Parents must sign
for persons under 18 years old.
The Judging
• Speed: How fast you complete the course. The
fastest time receives the most points.
• Style: The overall look, creativity and theme.
A maximum of 50 points will be awarded.
• Durability: How much of the racer actually crosses the finish line. A maximum of 50 points will be awarded. (The driver
must be in or on the racer at the finish line).
The
Schedule
Registration takes place at the bottom of the course, just behind
the King Pine Base Lodge, beginning at Noon. The
course will be located at the base of the open slope. Inspection
and style judging will start at 12:30 PM and the
racing will start at 1:00 PM. We'll also have an
outdoor BBQ with music, games and prizes, beginning at 11:00
AM.
Let the fun begin!
